re: your edit to Legalized abortion and crime effect. Rather than replacing text that already exists with extensive quotations, while simultaneously destroying a footnote structure, why not bother to incorporate any new ideas into the text that exists? - Banyan Tree 14:42, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't like footnotes, huh? Linking large amounts of article text to an external source is non-standard formatting. Destroying a footnote structure that someone else has put in, so you can link to large amounts of text after you've been asked not to is just rude. See Wikipedia:Footnote for how they work on the wiki. I'm going to put the standard welcome text below.

Welcome!

Hi Rich, I notice you've violated the 3-revert rule (WP:3RR) on Steven Levitt. Please be more careful, and as three people have reverted you, please engage in discussion rather than reversion. Regards, Rd232 ^talk 16:49, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
